De-escalation is a fact. And in the tourism sector, even more. To the point that Spain leads the ranking of world hotel and apartment reservations made in the last days for the coming months with 33.75% of the total. It is followed by the United States (with 31.5%), Portugal (9.8%), Italy (2.13%), France (2.8%) and Mexico (2.06%).

This is the data managed by the online platform Travelgate, based in Palma de Mallorca, after analyzing more than 20,000 reservations and 3,000 million daily searches on the Internet from 300 hotel websites and 15 airline companies around the world. The consultation was made after last week's announcement by the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez , to open the country to tourism without quarantines in between on June 21 .

United States and Portugal, behind

Moreover, before this announcement, Spain did not lead the world's hotel reservations, but that position was occupied by the United States , with 43.53% of the total, while our country remained with 20.86% and Portugal , the 7.7%. The figures, however, have changed, allowing the sector to handle a future in a more optimistic way.

By region at the international level, Andalusia is the one that arouses the most interest, with 10.78% of the reservations made in the last days. Florida, with cities like Miami in the lead, comes later, while before Pedro Sánchez's appearance it was the first. Behind it are followed by the Canary Islands (which previously occupied fifth place), Faro (the capital of the Portuguese Algarve), which has not moved in position in recent weeks, and the Valencian Community. This fifth place was previously for the state of California , which now moves to seventh.

The most desired Spanish regions

If we only analyze the Spanish regions, Andalusia takes 31.66% of hotel reservations. Then came the Canary Islands (16.7%), Valencia (13.4%), the Balearic Islands (13.01%) and Catalonia (9.69%). Reservations for the Canary Islands do not only refer to summer, but also from October, since the high season extends further than in the rest of the country.
